Well I finally purchased a M14....now the wait for it to get up here from TX.
Back in 78' I saw one at a local gun shop...I liked....but ended up buying a
AR15...my brother trained with one in 67' an decided I wanted one that was mostly if not all USGI an a barrel from 67'-69' when my brother served would be cool.....or even 1961...when I was born would be cool....well this one is all HR USGI parts including a 1961 barrel....after researching the s/n an talking to guys that know more than me, I believe this will be a good rifle. The s/n puts it the range when Federal Ordanance was making good receivers with USGI parts....so we will see....in a couple weeks...its been a long wait....I don't know if I will like it more than my Garands, but the M14/M1A's sure are cool looking rifles. The guy has had it since 1997, even though it was made I believe in the late 80's it looks almost like new......will post some pics as soon as it gets in.....so you guys that have Garands an M14/M1A's, which do you like better...an do you think I will like it since I love the Garand so much?
